Awesome Thing That is Also A Shameless Plug: My boss qualified (by running a 50 mile race in under 9(?) hours), and won the selection lottery to run the Western States 100, a 100 mile race through the Sierra Nevada mountains. He is running in June, and dedicating his run to the Sacramento Children's Home, the Family Resource Centers (where I work!) in particular.

If anyone feels like throwing a little money at him, that would be super amazing and appreciated. The FRCs are really important. We do parenting classes, stress reduction, child abuse prevention, home visitation (parenting classes and resource liaisons within the family's home), we have an intervention specialist who helps vulnerable families through crises (domestic violence, loss of housing, etc.), and we host other organizations (like counselors) and such. https://kidshome.ejoinme.org/MyPages/SC ... fault.aspx

It's lunchtime on Thursday and I have finished work. THE WEEKEND STARTS NOW.
Well okay so I'm working tomorrow night as well but that's AGES away, I'll have a pre-weekend until then.

Is there a 'Jealous Thread'?

The President of the University just sent an email to 67,643 people inviting them to the school's Take Back The Night rally tomorrow.

If you makes you feel better, it's now Friday night and I'm likely to be up until about 5am getting this work done.

Today, my brother and I were "covering" Angel by Judas Priest with him playing the guitar and me singing and then when we realized we were both reasonably terrible, we switched to playing Metal Dumb Charades for an hour. It was fun to sign Jens Kidman. I did the freaky eyeball movement and everything. Then we punched each other's faces and finally gave up and had a smoke together.

Was pretty awesome.

Watch a video on YouTube. Click the light switch next to the title to turn off the lights.

EDIT: Err... that's apparently not a April Fools Easter Egg, and has been around for a few days.

I think it's a darn good way for him to make money, without compromising the original product being free.

Friday was my birthday so I went go-karting with my friends and didn't suck!

My economics professor just told me that my grade last quarter was actually 3.9 instead of 3.0!

If it's ~~a severed head~~ an April Fools joke, I'm going to be very upset.

Not really

I was up at 4am on Saturday to take my gf's parents to the airport. Then because I slept for so long on Saturday night, I really don't feel like I had a weekend.

Awesome? It's nearly Easter? That's always a nice break from work.

This forum kinda makes me happy.

Also, I've never left the country before, so for my birthday my dad sent me a ticket to go to a different continent for two weeks. It's rather grand

I like travelling!

No awesomeness in so long? More awesomeness required.

Great drive to work this morning, it was sunny, random-select on my music-box churned out some great driving songs and the roads were empty because it's a Bank Holiday.
Yes, I'm at work, but it's awesome.

What you're doing is commendable and friggin' awesome. It's things like this that make me happy to still be alive in this world. +1

From what I can tell from Giant Speck's sig is that he is raising money to buy marshmallows for diabetics. Is that about right?
